Nothing from me this week, suffering a touch of drabblers block. I have the urge to write something not constrained by the drabble form. Maybe I'll be in a better frame of mind next week.

Commander Remklep suited up like he did 1000 times before. His gloves slipped on and so did the pink panties he hid under his flight suit. Some men had drink some had drugs but he had the tea bag tearing comfort of pink nylon strangling the strawberries downstairs. He got into his eagle and began the engines. He then asked flight control for permission to leave and then sat their waiting for his slot to approach. and as his slot now arrived he twitched the throttle and the ship shut down. He cursed! Those stupid god damn bugs strike again!

No sign of Philip Coutts yet?

I reckon if he doesn't show up with the next couple of hours then we should just open the doors and let the topic be a free-for-all.. make this week's topic about nothing.

The valiant return of the unwanted pheasants

Well i've got a topical one now, so don't use this:

"Why 500 tons of birds?"
Psykokow shook his head, he was surprised that his brother managed to get the trading gig, considering that the
Galactic Anti-Animal-Cruelty Foundation had blackballed Simoof and Señor Shouty from purchasing live animals.
"Don't ask, is the sleeping gas ready?" asked shoutyman.

"Ow, gerrof!", A blackbird had pecked at kow's face
"Do birds eat potatoes?" queried Midden. Kow told him to go to the Far Queue.

Another bird landed on the cargo rack infront of Psykokow
"Is that a chaffinch?"
The bird turned is rear towards kow, and promptly farted.
"Nah, it's a chuffinch" said shoutyman.

Welcome to another week of Abraka Drabble, the weekly drabble competition where we invite you all to submit your drabbles, what's a drabble ?

A drabble is a short story of exactly 100 words (Excluding Title) and for the purpose of this competition it is set in the elite : Dangerous universe and to fit the theme picked by the previous weeks winner.

Last week's drabble competition was won by frequent raffle winner, lotto winner and winner of EVERYTHING EVER Philip Coutts, so in true WINNING STYLE the new topic for this week is........
PLEASE NOTE: due to the late revelation of this weeks topic, any entries submitted before this theme post will be valid even if they don't fit the theme. You are of course welcome to tweak or rewrite if you want.

"Fairytale"

Now we do have some rules...

1. Drabbles must be 100 words exactly (Excluding the title)
2. Over-use of-hyphens-to keep your word-count at 100 is very amusing but frowned upon.
3. Keep it as clean as you can to suit the family forum rules here, so no frogs attached to anatomical parts
4. Only the first 20 entries are guaranteed a place in the weekly poll
5. 1 entry each, you may write as many drabbles as you want, but it is assumed that your first drabble is your chosen entry unless otherwise advised. But please mark Drabbles that you don't want entered as such
6. If your drabble is under or over 100 words you will have a chance to correct it before the poll is erected, at this point, your drabble may be DQ'd if other drabbles are available to take its place.
7. Drabbles must be set in the Elite Dangerous universe (as loosely as you care to make it)
8. It should try to meet the theme in some arguable way.
9. If there is more than one theme you must match at least one, but can gain extra votes if you meet more.
10. It's all for a bit of fun, so enjoy yourself... Enjoyment is mandatory!

Sometimes it's difficult to know what constitutes exactly 100 words. Out arbiter is
www.wordcounter.net
It doesn't matter if it's right or wrong. Its count is the law.

So submit your drabbles in reply to this thread, and the first 20 will be guaranteed entry into this weeks poll, and read out on our live Show Friday night.
Entries close at Random O'clock on Thursday evening (or sometimes if we have 20 entries earlier). All Drabbles submitted up to Friday Afternoon will have a good chance of being read out on the live Drabble readiing show.

The Day a Delighted Bashful Acquired a New Purse

Once upon a time there was a crew of seven short servants who happily and devotedly looked after their cold imperial Princess Blanche. That was until she was due to marry the bossy Lord Stardust.

"Bring me my dinner! Polish my chain! Fight my enemies!" Stardust was known to bark whilst his followers fawned at his flowing locks and made the sign of the chalice behind his back.

Bashful, ordered to be handmaiden snapped when on the morning of the wedding Stardust growled in pain "You idiot boy! I said remove the drools, not the crown jewels!".

Stardust screamed again.
